Jefferson County Occupational Tax changes go into effect this month

Details

Legally-mandated changes to the Jefferson County Occupational Tax will go into effect this month.
 
As a result, all UAB employees who work in Jefferson County will see a reduction in their withholding of this tax from .50 percent to .45 percent.
 
In addition, going forward there will not be any professional exemption from county tax. This means that a limited number of positions at UAB that were exempt from any county tax will begin having tax withheld at the .45 percent rate effective with the first January payroll.
